The 6.2 is a hot rod engine requiring premium fuel. Much like the 6.4 from Dodge. The HD version of the 6.4 is detuned and rated for use with regular fuel. I don't see how the 6.2 detuned would even make sense when they have the 6.0 already out. They need more cubes imo to be an HD engine.
Why do they need more cubes? The 5.7 was in a many HD truck and did very well.
People that really tow heavy are not opting for a 5.7. My Toyota 5.7 makess better power than Dodges 5.7 and I can't imagine towing with this engine in an HD truck.
But that's not my point. My point is by the time GM detunes the 6.2 to a reliable level with regular gas, they will be at their 6.0 levels in terms of hp/tq. Would make no sense unless they just plan to abandon the 6.0 all together since it's only use is HD trucks.
